HUMAN CENTERED

PITCH

Introduce a framework for delivering a compelling project pitch to potential stakeholders, partners, funders and others.

So tell me about your project…”

“


Who are you sharing with?

• Patient study participants • Partnering organizations (local, state, national)

• Academic medical center • Health systems • Clinician + Research colleagues • Patient and stakeholder partners

• PCORI • Professional organizations • Payers • Medical societies • National media • Patient and caregiver advocacy organizations

6


The first step to building your pitch is finding your lead/thesis

what you know and want to share

what matters most to them

your thesis

7


Structuring your pitch Once you’ve identified your thesis, use a 5-part structure to craft your pitch

PARTS OF THE PITCH

SET UP | CONTEXT | NEED | SOLUTION | CALL-TO-ACTION

8


Who are you? Help people orient themselves for what coming up


Hello, my name is (greeting)

I am/I do (identity)

I want to talk to you about (request attention)

9


What’s going on? Give proof the problem deserves attention using factual evidence

Asthma burden is high in inner-city minority adults, despite the existence of safe and effective medication.

In our city (e.g., Chicago), n million adults are impacted.

In this room, that means n people in your row would be effected.

This matters, it’s a fact

TIP: Tune the context to what your audience knows. This should be familiar but not feel remedial.

10



What are you trying to solve? Emotional appeal illustrating the problem with relatable human examples

TIP: This is a great place to tell a story (anecdote and reflection) to reveal dimensions and nuance your audience didn’t know.

National experts and other stakeholders cite a pressing need to reduce parents' stress in order to increase their children's use of daily controller medications. However, few studies exist of interventions to manage stress among parents of youth with asthma.

“I was having an attack and I didn’t know.”

You can feel the need for something new

MOBILE MATCH ALERTSPAGE 90

Halfway through his search, Oliver gets a Mobile Match Alert about a newly listed open house just a few blocks away that’s a near-perfect match to his Lifestyle Profile. What luck!

Oliver

What are you doing? Describe what you’re doing, its key benefit and how it’s different

TIP: Edit yourself. This isn’t about nuance and subtlety, it’s about the central hypotheses you’re testing.

What do you want me to do? Tell your audience what you want them to do next

PRESENTATION DESIGN

Your audience has a limited attention span.

Presentation design is for the benefit of the audience. It’s about eliminating distractions and making it easy for them to digest what you’re trying to communicate.

Why it matters


After the brainstorm

1 Once the ideas start to slow, start to analyze and organize • idea clustering

2 With the team, start to prioritize the concepts on the board • dot voting • map on a value 2×2

3 Dive deeper into some ideas and prototype • lo-fi prototyping

24

SHARPIE DECK


WHAT A way to build presentations quickly and collaboratively

WHY It lets you work on a story in a flexible way before committing too much time to making the slides

SHARPIE DECK

37


• Use markers so others can read from a distance

• Write your big points down,one per page

• Don’t worry about order yet

• Use headlines, not captions

• Take a pass at visuals if they’ll help make your point

38

SHARPIE DECK

Start with half sheets + markers


Arrange half sheets in a way that makes sense

Fill in gaps and reword headlines as needed

Use rows for different sections

SHARPIE DECK

Pin it up and look for the arc

40

Ask yourself and your listeners:

• What were the main points?

• Do you believe what I said? why not?

• Does the story flow?

• Are there points that are distracting from the main story? (avoid Russian Doll syndrome)

• Is there content that can move to an appendix as support?

SHARPIE DECK

Pitch, iterate, and repeat


WHAT CAN YOU DO NEXT?

• ask us a question • sketch out a sharpie deck for an upcoming talk • watch this video youtu.be/POsyl1EIHko • read The Art of Scientific Storytelling • work together to work differently
